Travellive 7 - 2018

Dear Valued Readers, July is when the world is fighting hard to find the champion of World Cup 2018, but for the Thai people, the survivability of the junior football team after being lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave is a true victory. In Travellive’s July issue, there is a journey full of willpower from the couple known as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike. They, and other lonely travelers, are sometimes considered crazy - but they don’t ride just to go, they also ride to learn the lesson of capacity and power, even when all energy seems exhausted ... Another highlight of this month is Travellive’s realization of an objective: selecting amongst the new hotels and resorts beginning operation between the end of 2017 to early 2018 in order to create the best list according to special criteria and with the purpose of helping readers make the right decision that best suits their interests. Getting through hot July, you may want to leisurely enjoy life “à la parisienne”, or at least, experience amusing moments while enjoying a cup of iced tea each afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi. Equally interesting is experiencing one of the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated by Travellive. And Travellive’s July issue has enough life rhythm for you! EDITORIAL BOARD

Dear Valued Readers,
July is when the world is fighting hard to find the champion of World Cup 2018, but for the Thai people, the survivability of the junior football team after being lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave is a true victory.

In Travellive’s July issue, there is a journey full of willpower from the couple known as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike. They, and other lonely travelers, are sometimes considered crazy - but they don’t ride just to go, they also ride to learn the lesson of capacity and power, even when all energy seems exhausted ...

Another highlight of this month is Travellive’s realization of an objective: selecting amongst the new hotels and resorts beginning operation between the end of 2017 to early 2018 in order to create the best list according to special criteria and with the purpose of helping readers make the right decision that best suits their interests.

Getting through hot July, you may want to leisurely enjoy life “à la parisienne”, or at least, experience amusing moments while enjoying a cup of iced tea each afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi. Equally interesting is experiencing one of the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated by Travellive.

And Travellive’s July issue has enough life rhythm for you!

Dear valued readers,<br />

July is when the world is fighting hard to<br />

find the champion of World Cup <strong>2018</strong>,<br />

but for the Thai people, the survivability<br />

of the junior football team after being<br />

lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang<br />

Non cave is a true victory.<br />

In <strong>Travellive</strong>'s July issue, there is a journey<br />

full of willpower from the couple known<br />

as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the<br />

bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike.<br />

They, and other lonely travelers, are<br />

sometimes considered crazy - but they<br />

don't ride just to go, they also ride to<br />

learn the lesson of capacity and power,<br />

even when all energy seems exhausted ...<br />

Another highlight of this month is<br />

<strong>Travellive</strong>'s realization of an objective:<br />

selecting amongst the new hotels and<br />

resorts beginning operation between<br />

the end of 2017 to early <strong>2018</strong> in order to<br />

create the best list according to special<br />

criteria and with the purpose of helping<br />

readers make the right decision that best<br />

suits their interests.<br />

Getting through hot July, you may want<br />

to leisurely enjoy life "µ la parisienne",<br />

or at least, experience amusing moments<br />

while enjoying a cup of iced tea each<br />

afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi.<br />

Equally interesting is experiencing one of<br />

the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated<br />

by <strong>Travellive</strong>.<br />

And <strong>Travellive</strong>'s July issue has enough life<br />

rhythm for you!<br />

"MAMMA MIA": HERE WE GO AGAIN<br />

10<br />

years after "Mamma Mia!", audiences will have the chance to immerse<br />

in its youthful love melody once again with the exciting summer<br />

sunshine in "Mamma Mia!": Here We Go Again. The film's setting<br />

is the still fancy Kalokairi Island of Greece where the immortal song of ABBA<br />

NUOC ANH<br />

"Toi bo quen toi o nuoc Anh" (I lost<br />

myself in the UK) by Minh Thi is a<br />

love story between an international<br />

student and the United Kingdom -<br />

the land that still burns in her heart<br />

even though she has come back to<br />

Vietnam. This book reveals London<br />

through artists showing their<br />

genius on busy streets, the sounds<br />

of people excitedly chatting while<br />

drinking in pubs and strolling down<br />

mossy streets.<br />

Readers of "Toi bo quen toi o nuoc<br />

Anh" will be enchanted by Minh Thi's<br />

charming pieces and stories as well as<br />

her subtle and humorous comments<br />

about this familiar yet foreign land...<br />

OWNERS OF CLASSY VILLAS<br />

LIKE A FEVER SPREADING ACROSS THE WORLD,<br />

EXTREMELY LUXURIOUS VILLAS HAVE BECOME<br />

THE NUMBER ONE CHOICE FOR THE SUPER-<br />

RICH. GENERALLY, THE OWNERS OF THESE<br />

VILLAS ARE THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN<br />

THEIR VARIOUS FIELDS. THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL<br />

BUSINESSMAN, REAL ESTATE BARONS, AND<br />

TECHNOLOGY GIANTS, SHOWBIZ STARS, AND<br />

EVEN THOSE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN.<br />

POSH OWNERS OF CLASSY VILLAS<br />

They own the extravagant villas whose value is hard to<br />

even fathom. The billionaire Elon Musk, for instance,<br />

has spent tens of millions of dollars purchasing four<br />

adjacent villas in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los<br />

Angeles. Other billionaires such as Larry Page and Bill Gates<br />

also prove their class with their high-end choices.<br />

That's the story of the world. Undeniably this trend is spreading<br />

throughout the world and it has significant impact on big urban<br />

areas, especially in South East Asia, including Vietnam.<br />

The real estate market in Vietnam has been flourishing, however,<br />

not from mainstream sources, but rather by a distinctive trend.<br />

The owners of luxurious villas have greatly contributed to this<br />

market's share. Regardless, the status of each period, of prosperity<br />

or decline, the real estate market always sees its owners on top.<br />

They do not follow the choices of the masses but stay diverse in<br />

their assets.<br />

According to Knight Frank, the world's leading real estate<br />

consultant company, the impressive growth of super-rich people<br />

in Asia could be strengthened by several countries, including<br />

Vietnam. It is these super-rich individuals who often have the<br />

desire to affirm their class. So, what do the corporations that<br />

supply luxury villas and apartments have to offer to this special<br />

market?<br />

HIGH-END CHOICES WITH EVERGREEN<br />

<strong>2018</strong> appears to be a booming year for the cooperation between<br />

construction groups and management corporations. TNR<br />

Holdings Vietnam has joined hands with investor Tai Nguyen to<br />

44<br />

TRAVELLIVE


launch the EverGreen project; the most notable project<br />

is the sales opening of 30 City Villas in the super-luxury<br />

line. These villas meet every strict standard of design,<br />

architecture, material, space, and living environment.<br />

The introduction of City Villas aims at satisfying each<br />

demand of the super-rich eyeing the perfect villa. Aside<br />

from intricate design, living space and environment<br />

are considered the most significant factors. It is a vivid<br />

vertical transformation, completely changing the old<br />

concept of typical villas. Each villa features luxurious and<br />

elegant interiors in the Art Däcor style, equipped with<br />

state-of-the-art facilities. Residents can enjoy an array of<br />

utilities and services offered for the first time in Vietnam<br />

such as a 5-star marina, Marina Bird's Nest restaurant,<br />

central park, smart underground transport system, as<br />

well as high-end services to relax and enjoy the high-class<br />

life at the City Club House.<br />

In addition, City Villas is highlighted by a Panorama<br />

swimming pool connecting each villa, removing all<br />

boundaries of privacy and elevating it to an entirely new<br />

level in the community of successful residents.<br />

Apart from the excellent harmony between the elements<br />

of architecture, art, and utility, the high value of City<br />

Villas is the starting point for prosperity and a life of<br />

luxury. The villas themselves are more awe inspiring in<br />

person than they are on paper.<br />

Owning a peaceful place in the City Villas is a desire<br />

of successful people who have a sophisticated aesthetic<br />

and lead unique lifestyles; those who value prestige and<br />

personal brand. Relaxing and enjoying life in EverGreen's<br />

super-luxurious villas is a way of affirming one's status,<br />

success and long-term prosperity.<br />

Kyrgyzstan, the fourth Central Asian country in our cycling journey from Paris to Vietnam,<br />

seduced us right away for being so friendly. We have never crossed a border with such ease<br />

as we did in Kyrgyzstan. No questioning but with broad smiles and waving hands the border<br />

control officers welcomed us and our steel horses.<br />

travel<br />

Children<br />

are all<br />

naughty<br />

and lovely<br />

no matter<br />

where they<br />

are from<br />

Clenching teeth<br />

and pushing hard<br />

on the pedals, we<br />

stubbornly moved<br />

forward. We<br />

succeeded to reach a<br />

home stay, to have<br />

a cold beer when<br />

the sky finally tore<br />

apoart and poured<br />

torrents of water<br />

down on the earth.<br />

NARROWLY ESCAPING<br />

THE HEAVY RAIN<br />

When we arrived in Kyrgyzstan, the<br />

landscape changed 180 o . No longer<br />

were there arid mountain ranges,<br />

nor immense treeless plateaus; but<br />

luxurious green from grass and trees,<br />

murky red from water rumbling<br />

at the foot of the mountain. On<br />

the mountainside big yaks with<br />

their proud horns lumbered about;<br />

euphoric horses, manes whipping<br />

romped on the grass in the wind...<br />

It's bursting with life here.<br />

Much to our surprise, we did not<br />

have much time to embrace this new<br />

change as we had to cycle onward at<br />

full speed. Heavy dark clouds, like a<br />

looming threat, followed us across<br />

the border.<br />

If we didn't reach Sary Tash - the<br />

first village 20 km from the frontier<br />

- before these clouds ripped the sky<br />

asunder and began pouring water,<br />

we would have passed an indelible<br />

moment. It felt like the everlasting<br />

slopes of Tajikistan had drained away<br />

all of our strength and the ferocious<br />

headwind was going to beat us.<br />

However, clenching teeth and pushing<br />

hard n the pedals, we stubbornly<br />

moved forward. We succeed to reach<br />

a home stay, to havea cold beer when<br />

the sky finally tore apoart and poured<br />

torrents of water down on the earth.<br />

Once again, we learnt a lesson<br />

about our own capacity, about our<br />

willpower: When you think you can't<br />

take it anymore, when needed, you are<br />

still able to unfold enough strength<br />

to cross an another river, to move an<br />

another mountain...<br />

And here, as in Turkey, Iran,<br />

Uzbekistan and lots of other places,<br />

Aigul, the young homestay owner, was<br />

surprised to see men washing clothes<br />

and even helping her carry the water<br />

home from streams. "Kyrgyz men<br />

after work just eat and drink wine"<br />

she confided, rubbing her two-year-old<br />

son's head while he, sparkling eyed,<br />

hugged her legs. We hope that our<br />

small amount of money will help to<br />

improve her daily life.<br />

Like Tajikistan, much of Kyrgyzstan's<br />

territory is mountainous and full<br />

of pot-holed roads, which sums our<br />

journey up in one word "struggle".<br />

The daily routine is to bend our back,<br />

trying to climb passes to passes under<br />

the burning heat near 50 o C, with a<br />

bent body sweating like a bath. We<br />

didn't even have time to think about<br />

wiping off our sweat. All we cared<br />

about was jamming on the brake and<br />

preparing our legs to stop in time,<br />

especially when both our bikes and<br />

our bodies bounced on the way down<br />

the rough roads. Luckily for us, the<br />

green and peaceful scenery helped us<br />

to forget our exhaustion.<br />

Here, the pine forests cover the<br />

mountains interspersed with<br />

sprawling green meadows stretching<br />

across the horizon bringing to mind<br />

images of Austria and Switzerland.<br />

And it's also here that rosy-cheeked<br />

children, smiling from their eyes,<br />

ran out of their "yurts" - the symbolic<br />

nomadic tent - waving, pulling us back<br />

to reality.<br />

Here come the golden blooming<br />

sunflowers sway under the sun. And<br />

the horses, graceful and brave, gallop<br />

on the vast green prairie, their toned<br />

muscles throb under their silken<br />

brown skin, their hooves thump<br />

louder and louder. Perhaps it is<br />

because my zodiac sign is the horse;<br />

I was always touched by such images,<br />

these eloquent demonstrations of the<br />

free life we all pursue.<br />

MEET-UP WITH A<br />

"CRAZIER" BIKER<br />

On our way to Osh<br />

- the second largest<br />

city after the capital<br />

Bishkek, in southern<br />

Kyrgyzstan - we<br />

met a South Korean boy riding in the<br />

opposite direction with the intention<br />

to be the the first Korean to conquer<br />

the plateau of Pamir (Tajikistan) on<br />

a Brompton folding bike. With the<br />

memories of our troubles on Pamir<br />

Street fresh in our hearts, we looked<br />

at him with rolling eyes, quietly<br />

thinking, "What a weird idea! Has he<br />

got enough strength? Maybe he will<br />

have to push harder on that bike"...<br />

Now you see, when people listen to<br />

any of your ideas they think you are<br />

crazy (as we often heard about our<br />

own bike riding plan). It's good to<br />

know that there is always someone<br />

crazier than you out there...<br />

We always ask the caravan to<br />

send greetings and necessary text<br />

messages to those pedaling behind<br />

us, and sometimes we get news from<br />

our friends ahead of us. In the 21 st<br />

century, this way of communication<br />

is still very useful and effective, in<br />

part because of the cohesive and<br />

friendly community developed by the<br />

road bikers. Thanks to this form of<br />

communication, once we arrived in<br />

Osh, we went to the Baiana homestay<br />

- a place almost exclusively for<br />

pedestrians where the backyard has<br />

been turned into a garage, the kitchen<br />

requisitioned for eaters focused on<br />

their bowls of salad, where green<br />

vegetables trays and fruit baskets are<br />

set out for the weeks ahead.<br />

Jalal-Abad, the third largest city, is<br />

about two days of biking from Osh.<br />

When we arrived, tired from the<br />

dangers of the Kyrgyz street thugs,<br />

we decided to leave the smooth large<br />

road for the smaller bumpier one.<br />

As planned, we crossed Kazarman<br />

and reached Song-Kul Lake, before<br />

stopping at Kara-Koo on the famous<br />

Issyk Kul lake. In order to avoid the<br />

cars and trucks from nearly hitting<br />

us at 20 cm away, we had to create<br />

our own "weapon": we attached a<br />

long stick behind the bike creating<br />

a necessary distance of safety, then<br />

we tied a brilliant colored rope with<br />

a small rock at the end. Strangely,<br />

it was the little stone that made the<br />

drivers less "aggressive" when they<br />

passed us.<br />

Aside from the drivers, most Kyrgyz<br />

people, though not as warm-hearted<br />

as the Turks or Uzbeks, are quite<br />

hospitable. Even when we chose<br />

quiet places to set our tent up, we<br />

still received bottles of hot freshly<br />

squeezed milk, bread, cheeses and<br />

fruits. They were mostly brought by<br />

the children; each of them defined<br />

by their distinctive characteristics:<br />

decayed teeth, sunburns, naughtiness<br />

or shyness... but all of them had a<br />

similar look with their muddy faces<br />

and bright eyes and each were sent by<br />

their parents to bring us presents.<br />

At times, we asked to pitch our tent<br />

in the backyards of families. To our<br />

surprise, we would receive sudden<br />

refusals: "Why do you want to put the<br />

tent in the yard when you can sleep in<br />

86<br />

TRAVELLIVE


Field of<br />

golden<br />

blooming<br />

sunflowers<br />

under the<br />

sun<br />

the house?", or "Why do you refuse to have dinner with us when we<br />

have already cooked for you?" Once, when I was standing absentminded,<br />

a nearby fruit vendor picked up a big bag full of fruit and<br />

handed it to me. Turns out, we had met him a few days earlier and<br />

we had to work very hard to convince him to let us pay for the two<br />

big watermelons he wanted to gift us. The nomadic hospitality is the<br />

highlight of Kyrgyz culture, which always strikes visitors. Although<br />

it has been apart from the Soviet Union since 1991, most people<br />

here still speak Russian (aside from the Kyrgyz and minority Uzbek<br />

languages), so I was able to communicate with them a little.<br />

With a vast natural landscape and hospitable foreign traveler<br />

policies, Kyrgyzstan is increasingly welcoming to visitors. Unlike us,<br />

struggling up a ferocious hill on "iron horses", are the smiling faces<br />

of tourists on jeeps, motorcycles or the bikes rumbling downhill.<br />

Aside from biking, trekking or horseback riding for a few days are<br />

also favorite activities here.<br />

Nearly two weeks after leaving Osh, we arrived in Bishkek, the<br />

capital, and our last stop in Central Asia. Bishkek is an important<br />

"hub" in the cycling community for relaxing, resting and preparing<br />

for the next journey. Just over 3 weeks isn't much time but it was<br />

enough to create lasting feelings and to fall in love with the country<br />

and people of Kyrgyzstan. See you again!<br />

VISA<br />

‣ 45 countries qualify for<br />

a 60-day travel period to<br />

Kyrgyzstan without a visa.<br />

More information can be<br />

found at www.kgembassy.<br />

org/en under the "Consular<br />

and Visa Section".<br />

‣ You can fly to Bishkek<br />

with Aeroflot (with a stop<br />

in Moscow), Turkish Airlines<br />

(with a stop in Istanbul) or<br />

China Southern (with two<br />

stops, in Guangzhou and<br />

Urumqi).<br />

BEST TIME TO VISIT<br />

‣ Kyrgyzstan follows a<br />

continental climate with hot<br />

summers and cold winters.<br />

The climate is divided into<br />

different regions. The high<br />

and dry weather of the west,<br />

the temperate weather in<br />

the northern mountains. The<br />

higher you go, the colder the<br />

weather becomes.<br />

TRANSPORTATION<br />

‣ You can rent a jeep<br />

to explore Kyrgyzstan or<br />

contact a tour operator for<br />

a motorbike or downhill<br />

bike tour. Public transport<br />

and long-distance bus<br />

services in Kyrgyzstan are<br />

very limited. You should<br />

only choose this means if<br />

you are a seasoned traveler<br />

and not bound by time.<br />

‣ If you have a lot of<br />

time and want a real life<br />

experience, you can buy a<br />

donkey and roam all the way<br />

through Kyrgyzstan.<br />

SHOPPING<br />

‣ You can easily find many<br />

unique items.<br />

Shops in Kyrgyzstan are<br />

not only full of unique and<br />

diverse items, but they also<br />

contain products made in<br />

Kyrgyzstan. You can find<br />

anything from handicrafts<br />

made from a variety of plants<br />

to distinctive outfits and<br />

more. You can find these<br />

items at many souvenir shops<br />

or in traditional markets.<br />

ACCOMMODATION<br />

‣ Traveling tents, or<br />

homestays: In large cities, you<br />

will easily find motels and<br />

hotels. Around popular areas<br />

like Song Kul Lake or Issyk<br />

Kul, there are shuttle services<br />

that pick you up and take<br />

you to nomadic tents (yurts).<br />

You can always set up a<br />

tent or sleep at the home<br />

of a local.<br />

DESTINATION<br />

‣ Hu Song Kul and Issyk<br />

Kul: Apart from natural<br />

sightseeing on the roads,<br />

two famous rest spots in<br />

Kyrgyzstan are Song Kul lake<br />

and Issyk Kul lake. These<br />

lakes are also the starting<br />

point for many long journeys<br />

by horse.<br />

‣ Ala Archa National Park:<br />

If you like trekking, you can<br />

go to Ala Archa National<br />

Park near Bishkek, or try your<br />

hand at Tien Shan on the<br />

Chinese border with peaks<br />

above 7000 m such as Khan<br />

Tengri or Podeba.<br />

‣ Sulaiman-Too Sacred<br />

Mountain: Located near the<br />

city of Osh, this mountain is<br />

a UNESCO World Heritage<br />

site. It is not possible to go<br />

to Kyrgyzstan without visiting<br />

this sacred mountain.<br />

‣ Tash Rabat: A snowcapped<br />

mountain with<br />

15 th century houses still<br />

preserved today.<br />

‣ World Nomad Games:<br />

If you're lucky, you can<br />

experience the World<br />

Nomad Games, held every<br />

two years in the summer.<br />

This year, the competition<br />

will take place between<br />

September 2 to 8.<br />

CUISINE<br />

‣ Kyrgyz food is not that<br />

varied but has similarities to<br />

other Central Asian countries<br />

with manti, salty cheese, or<br />

fatty sheep meat. A speciality<br />

worth tasting is "kumis",<br />

made from fermented horse<br />

milk. In our experience, you<br />

should not drink "kumis" after<br />

it's been out in the hot sun<br />

for a few days.<br />

TOUR YOU CAN BOOK<br />

‣ You can refer to Beetours<br />

Vietnam as an authorized<br />

dealer for airfares to<br />

Kyrgyzstan by international<br />

airlines.<br />

Every time I think about my trip, Morocco always<br />

appears in my mind as a bright and colorful painting.<br />

Morocco in full color: deep blue of the Mediterranean<br />

Sea, yellow orange of the Sahara Desert, grey green of<br />

dusted dates, red of the shielings, white as the snow<br />

on the Atlas ranges and indigo like a Berber scarf.<br />

TRAVELLIVE


Ups & downs of an ancient capital<br />

If someone were to ask me where<br />

at in Morocco I enjoyed the most,<br />

without hesitation I would choose Fez.<br />

I have always given more affection to<br />

the majestic natural scenery of high<br />

mountains, wide seas, long rivers,<br />

rarely favoring big cities. But I cannot<br />

help falling in love with Fez. This<br />

city is so special; fluctuating between<br />

the traditional, the seriousness of<br />

an ancient capital, its boisterous<br />

characters of the souk (market) and its<br />

idyllic French styled villas.<br />

If Marrakesh is busy and bustling,<br />

attractive as a young man full of<br />

life, Fez is a mature and seductive<br />

man full of hidden wisdom. The<br />

once-oldest capital of housing the<br />

most dynasties, Fez has witnessed<br />

the country's ups and downs over<br />

thousands of years. It was not until<br />

1912 that the French-Morocco treaty<br />

was signed in Fez, bringing Morocco<br />

to the list of French colonies. This<br />

treaty also moved the capital to Rabat.<br />

Despite the change of capitals, Fez is<br />

still the center of art, culture and the<br />

spirit of the kingdom.<br />

After four days in a bouncy car<br />

and struggling on the back of a<br />

camel outside the Sahara Desert, I<br />

was back to civilization. Through<br />

the car window, I felt as if I were<br />

travelling back in time through<br />

three completely different eras of<br />

the city. The first era is the new Dar<br />

Dbibegh, built by the French in<br />

the colonial period, a harmonious<br />

combination between traditional<br />

Moroccan and modern European<br />

architecture. Then to the FÃs el-<br />

Jedid, the "new" administrative<br />

center, beginning in the 13 th century<br />

under the Marinid dynasty. Finally,<br />

I walked into a completely different<br />

world: FÃs el-Bali, which covers the<br />

medina (fortress city); the oldest town<br />

established under the 8th-century<br />

Idrisid dynasty.<br />

Starting a new day on a high tower<br />

My day in Fez typically began before<br />

dawn when I was awakened by the<br />

adhan - the Islamic call to prayer.<br />

From the highest tower, I could<br />

clearly hear the adhan, spreading to<br />

every corner of the city in oscillating<br />

tones - wavering from high to low.<br />

Muslims pray five times a day, every<br />

day: dawn, noon, midday, sunset and<br />

one hour after sunset. They gather in<br />

mosques, Islamic schools or pray in<br />

private, always facing the direction<br />

of Mecca.<br />

In the early morning I walked to Bab<br />

Boujloud, the most special gate of<br />

Fez, connecting FÃs el-Jedid to the<br />

old town of FÃs el-Bali. This place<br />

is called "Blue Gate" because of the<br />

color of the meticulously decorated<br />

bricks, covering both sides of the<br />

wall: one face in cobalt blue - the<br />

color of Fez, the other in green - the<br />

color of Islam.<br />

Fez's medina is often referred to as<br />

a cryptic labyrinth. It is the largest<br />

pedestrian street in the world with<br />

a population three times larger than<br />

the main island of Venice, Italy. In<br />

the medina, motorized vehicles are<br />

banned entirely due to the many<br />

stairs running up and down the<br />

narrow streets, only a few dozen<br />

centimeters wide. The walls of Fez<br />

encompass invaluable cultural and<br />

architectural treasures. In an area of<br />

a few square kilometers, there are<br />

countless gates, palaces, mosques,<br />

Islamic schools, and fountains,<br />

among some of the best preserved in<br />

the enchanting Arab world, seducing<br />

wanderers who love to explore, much<br />

like myself.<br />

TRAVELLIVE<br />

Leaving Bab Boujloud, the two main<br />

streets lead me deep into the medina,<br />

where all the magnificent Spanish-<br />

Islamic architecture (hispanomoresque)<br />

is located. There may not<br />

be a place on earth as beautiful as<br />

the madrasa (Islamic school) in Fez.<br />

Each madrasa is a collection of prayer<br />

rooms and dormitories covering the<br />

four sides of a large and quiet yard.<br />

The walls are decorated with mosaic<br />

patterns or sophisticated and elegant<br />

calligraphy. Standing in the solitude<br />

of the madrasa, the chaotic noise of<br />

the market melted away.<br />

Fez's heart lies at the center of the<br />

medina, where the tomb of Moulay<br />

Idris II - the second king of the Idrisid<br />

dynasty and founder of the city. Next<br />

to the mosque is Al Quaraouiyine, the<br />

oldest Islamic university in the world,<br />

founded in 859. However, like all<br />

other Moroccan tombs and mosques<br />

(except Hassan II in Casablanca) Fez<br />

does not allow non-Muslims inside.<br />

Because of this I could only stand<br />

outside, where I admired the fine<br />

carvings elaborately decorated on the<br />

massive gate and entrance.<br />

LOST IN ALLEYWAYS<br />

I left the big attractions to wander<br />

between the narrow-crooked alleyways<br />

and little squares, where I heard<br />

the echoes of weaving looms and<br />

the light thud of wood carving from<br />

Nejjarine Square or the clink of the<br />

blacksmith's hammer from<br />

Seffarine Square.<br />

The walls of Fez encompass invaluable<br />

cultural and architectural treasures. Standing in<br />

the solitude of the madrasa, the chaotic noise of the<br />

market melted away...<br />

TRAVELLIVE


At dawn, the<br />

echo of the<br />

call to prayer<br />

begins from<br />

the tallest<br />

tower in the<br />

city, spreading<br />

everywhere<br />

Fez is well known for its local specialties and exquisite handicraft<br />

products. Fez's towels are woven by a variety of yarn, from<br />

colorful dyed wool to cool silk and cactus yarn. Throughout<br />

the city, we couldn't help but be attracted by the shops with<br />

traditional pottery in cobalt blue patterns. Plates, large bowls,<br />

flower vases are all decorated with specific patterns and hung on<br />

the shelf or wall, inviting tourists to take them home.<br />

I continued to lose myself in the colorful and appetizing markets.<br />

Attarine souk (market) sells henna and spices, Tillis souk sells<br />

carpets, Chemaïne square sells dates and nuts, Chrabliyines<br />

souk sells babouche - a traditional Moroccan shoe. I could spend<br />

the whole day walking around the Old Quarter just to see the<br />

sparkling Arabian lights, cherishing the lovely handmade leather<br />

bags, or sniffing fresh spices as they drift across the small alleys.<br />

Spices are an indispensable element of Moroccan cuisine.<br />

Cinnamon, capsicum, chili powder, coriander seeds, ras-elhanoui...<br />

waft in the air to tickle your senses.<br />

Fez has a long tradition of tanning and the largest tannery is<br />

Chouwara, located near Seffarine. Here you can go up to the<br />

balcony of the shops surrounding the workshop and watch<br />

craftsmen tan leather with a medieval technique. The owner<br />

hands each person a sprig of mint to quell the foul odor of the<br />

coloring tanks.<br />

Afternoon is the best time to get away from the crowded medina<br />

and view Fez from above. As Fez is located on the plateau of<br />

SaÔss, sandwiched between the Rif and Atlas ranges, there are<br />

many beautiful hills with magnificent views. This time of day is<br />

also when locals begin to gather pieces of leather that have dried<br />

on the sunny and windy hillsides, packing them onto donkeys to<br />

be transported to the tanneries. From above, all the commotion<br />

of the ancient citadel evaporated. The golden sunshine peacefully<br />

shimmered down the minarets (towers).<br />

itinerary<br />

‣ Currently, there is no direct flight from<br />

Vietnam to Morocco; transit must be made<br />

through a third country, such as France<br />

or Qatar to get to the Moroccan city of<br />

Casablanca. From Casablanca, you can start<br />

your journey in Morocco and travel to Fez<br />

by train or bus. Morocco has an excellent<br />

public transit system and travelers can easily<br />

buy tickets online or directly at the station<br />

without any obstacles.<br />

Visa<br />

‣ 70 countries qualify for a 90-day<br />

travel period without a visa in Morocco.<br />

Information can be found on the Moroccan<br />

Embassy website of your country.<br />

Best time to visit<br />

‣ From October to May is the perfect<br />

time to visit Morocco. If you intend to<br />

go for a desert tour, you should wear<br />

warm clothes.<br />

Food<br />

‣ Moroccan cuisine is delicious and<br />

diverse. Traditional restaurants often offer<br />

tajin, couscous, pastilla or lamb/beef stews.<br />

In the souk, there is a great variety of grilled<br />

skewers. Morocco is a Muslim country, as<br />

such, people here do not eat pork.<br />

‣ Breakfast at the inn included a variety of<br />

breads, cornmeal pancakes, accompanied<br />

by jams, honey, butter, mint tea, and<br />

delicious fresh orange juice.<br />

‣ Moroccan pastries are also quite<br />

delectable (but very sweet). Sometimes<br />

they are as small as a thumb but carry a<br />

heavy buttery scent when served with a<br />

cup of mint tea.<br />

Tips<br />

‣ In Fez, you can hire a tour guide for a<br />

half day or one full day. They will introduce<br />

you to the culture, architecture, customs,<br />

and can especially help you to bypass<br />

enclosures of thieves and fortune-tellers.<br />

The people of Fez do not like to be<br />

photographed, but if you are with a guide,<br />

they often become more comfortable.<br />

‣ In the morning, the guides gather in Bab<br />

Boujloud, and each typically has a license<br />

card. Tour prices range from 10 - 12USD/<br />

half day for 2 guests.<br />

Estimated costs<br />

‣ In Morocco, you can easily book<br />

accommodations through popular booking<br />

websites. The price is quite reasonable, for<br />

example, a double room in a 2-star hotel<br />

costs about 50 - 60 USD/night, or about<br />

30 USD/night for a double room in a<br />

popular motel.<br />

‣ Meals in Morocco often cost around<br />

10 - 20 USD/meal in a nice restaurant<br />

with pleasant decorations, and it is much<br />

cheaper than in the souks. The cost of<br />

traveling in Morocco is about 80 - 90 USD/<br />

person/day (excluding airfare). If you prefer<br />

to travel like a backpacker, the cost can<br />

range between 60 - 70 USD/day.<br />

Crossing the Bolivian-Peruvian border by road, we began<br />

our journey of exploring the Inca civilization through<br />

the legendary Andean Baroque Route to Machu Pichu, a<br />

heritage site packed full of mysteries.<br />

A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON IN CUSCO<br />

Starting from the small city of Puno, we passed through many areas bearing the stamp of the ancient Inca<br />

before we arrived in Cusco on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Leaving the boisterous and hectic bus station,<br />

we headed straight to the Munaycha Casa hotel in the heart of the old town. This hotel, located on a<br />

primary school campus near the central square, was small yet attractive. Crossing through the school yard<br />

to reach the hotel door we entered cozy rooms straddling a quiet courtyard; a flower-filled garden, woodpaneled<br />

verandas, and a small rooftop dining room overlooked the endearing old city.<br />

After checking-in at the hotel, our group eagerly walked to the square at sunset. We fell in love with Cusco almost<br />

immediately at Plaza de Armas square: a spacious plaza with fountains, chairs, and beautiful light poles. The<br />

square, surrounded by two-story houses adorned with arched terraces, works in harmony with the Roman Gothic<br />

architecture of the high steeped Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin located in the center, creating<br />

an elegant stage.<br />

Peru is particularly famous for its distinctive cuisine; Peruvian chefs skillfully combine world dishes with local<br />

techniques to create uniquely Peruvian restaurants. Nearly all of the top-rated restaurants are located in the Plaza<br />

de Armas area, in addition to American franchises such as McDonalds and Starbucks. The area around the square<br />

is also filled with various souvenir shops and travel agents.<br />

TRAVELLIVE


The Inca rail, equipped<br />

with a glass-enclosed<br />

carriage, allows<br />

passengers to take<br />

stunning photos of<br />

the mountains while<br />

inhaling the fresh<br />

Incan air.<br />

When I originally planned for<br />

this trip I was so fascinated by<br />

the legendary Inca Trail that I<br />

prepared my luggage for a long trek<br />

with hiking shoes, clothing and<br />

other specialty items. However,<br />

for unexpected reasons, we had<br />

only four days in Cusco and the<br />

surrounding areas; not nearly<br />

enough time to thoroughly enjoy<br />

this world heritage site.<br />

LEGENDARY ROUTE ON INCA RAIL<br />

The Inca Rail train departed at 5:30<br />

am from Poroy station, about 30<br />

minutes by taxi from our hotel.<br />

Sitting in a car with wide windows<br />

on the ceiling, we happily enjoyed<br />

panoramic views as we cruised<br />

through the Inca archaeological<br />

sites, snow ranges and glittering<br />

rows of trees. Red leaves floated<br />

atop the winding river that cut the<br />

road in two. Along the two sides of<br />

the road were wide plateaus each<br />

with llamas grazing on grass; in the<br />

distance, snowy mountains appear<br />

as if in a dream, a truly poetic scene.<br />

The legendary rail continued to<br />

unfold beautiful scenes after each<br />

mountain pass much like photos<br />

flipping through an album. The Inca<br />

Rail, equipped with a glass-enclosed<br />

carriage, allows passengers to take<br />

stunning photos of the mountains<br />

while inhaling the fresh Incan air.<br />

The Aguas Calientes train station<br />

is located in a nice little town with<br />

restaurants, hotels, and souvenir<br />

shops full of tourists. In the middle<br />

of the town is a small church with<br />

a lovely flower garden. Because the<br />

town is 1500 m lower than Cusco,<br />

the impact of the altitude isn't felt<br />

here. There are two ways to get to<br />

Machu Picchu from here: some small<br />

trekking roads that lead straight to<br />

the top of the mountain, or a shuttle<br />

bus from a private company that<br />

transports tourists up the mountain.<br />

Gazing down from our gathering<br />

point, the trains in the station<br />

looked like scattered matches, while<br />

the winding road along the cliffs<br />

reminded me of the mountains in<br />

northwestern Vietnam.<br />

Our guide is an elderly man, he<br />

appears to us as a perfectionistic<br />

and is incredibly dedicated to his<br />

job. Unlike other guides who talk<br />

about the grandeur, techniques or<br />

the mysteries of the "Lost City",<br />

ours spoke in depth about each<br />

architectural detail and its meaning.<br />

Pisnou, our guide, is as passionate<br />

about Machu Picchu as if it were<br />

his native home. He said everyone<br />

knows how famous and important<br />

Old Mountain (Machu Picchu) is in<br />

the treasure of world heritage sites<br />

but not everyone recognizes that the<br />

"Lost City" was often referred to as<br />

Vilcabamba. He discussed the detail<br />

of Mother Earth in the concept of the<br />

"Three-Window Room" building as<br />

well as the ideas behind the "Temple<br />

of the Sun", he pointed out the<br />

significant aspects in the so-called<br />

Stonehenge of Machu Pichu.<br />

TRAVELLIVE 105


Closing my eyes and letting my<br />

imagination flow with the wind - I found<br />

myself fortunate enough to be immersed<br />

in such a wonderful ancient place on a<br />

rare beautiful sunny day....<br />

106<br />

Taking us through the residence of<br />

Emperor Pachacuti, this little man<br />

guided us through the living room,<br />

the bedroom, the toilet and the<br />

archaeological area presumed to be<br />

the dining room, insisting that it was<br />

a small garden. Through each stone<br />

door he pointed us to the direction<br />

of the rain and sunlight throughout<br />

the seasons of the year to showcase<br />

the sophistication and intelligence of<br />

the ancient Inca. We could hear the<br />

pride in his voice when he declared<br />

that the ancient Inca Empire was the<br />

largest empire in the world, spanning<br />

six South American countries, noting<br />

that it was even larger than the Roman<br />

Empire.<br />

EMOTIONS FOR THE INCA EMPIRE AND<br />

MACHU PICCHU<br />

Machu Picchu is not<br />

as majestic as I had<br />

imagined, but the integrity<br />

of the site is admirable.<br />

We had a chance to tour<br />

the area drainage system, the water<br />

supply network for the terraced fields<br />

flowing from an ever-running stream,<br />

the amazing staggered stone walls and<br />

the intricate Inca trail system that ran<br />

through the entire Inca Empire.<br />

Our guide continually repeated that<br />

good fortune was upon us. According<br />

to him, November through April is<br />

the season of heavy rains; to have<br />

a beautiful sunny day was quite<br />

fortunate, even in the dry season. We<br />

followed the footsteps of our guide<br />

so passionately that we forgot to take<br />

pictures. Our minds were stuck on<br />

questions such as "Why do the seven<br />

windows of the temple represent the<br />

TRAVELLIVE<br />

seven rainbow colors?", "Why do the<br />

temple walls of the mountain have so<br />

many engravings?" and "Why is this<br />

wall compared to the mourning wall<br />

of Jerusalem?".<br />

Pisnou said Machu Picchu may not<br />

be as ancient as other world heritage<br />

sites but it is full of many mysteries<br />

that have puzzled scientists for many<br />

years. Machu Picchu's place in the<br />

history of the world is quite unique; it<br />

contains a civilization that coincides<br />

with the ancient Egyptian period, the<br />

relationship it holds with Huayna<br />

Picchu, and the many questions<br />

it contains concerning ancient<br />

intelligence.<br />

Each entry ticket to the heritage site<br />

allows two visits, so after the guide<br />

had left, we returned to the entrance<br />

and climbed up the Sun Gate just<br />

before the closing hour where we<br />

contemplated the far off Inca Bridge<br />

and took pictures of the lovely llamas<br />

against the backdrop of the ancient<br />

Incan ruins.<br />

The short time from dawn to dusk<br />

brought us many emotions to ponder<br />

over. Resting on the stone Incan<br />

house with the thatched-roof, we<br />

found ourselves talking to an old<br />

Australian couple who had to take<br />

cardiac medicine to climb here while<br />

we watched sunset drop over the rows<br />

of food stalls and the far off terraced<br />

fields. Looking at the mountain range,<br />

I felt as if I saw a man's face looking at<br />

the sky within it.<br />

Closing my eyes and letting my<br />

imagination flow with the wind - I<br />

found myself fortunate enough to be<br />

immersed in such a wonderful ancient<br />

place on a rare beautiful sunny day...<br />

I am just over 30 and have no need<br />

for cardiac medicine. However, I do<br />

have a little bit of regret for failing to<br />

go trekking on the legendary road,<br />

though my trip was compensated<br />

by the emotional train ride to this<br />

amazing place.<br />

The regret of one who knows that<br />

time is flying... and one of her most<br />

wonderful days of a lifetime is about<br />

to come to an end...<br />

depart from Hanoi, ANA is a great choice, and if<br />

you depart from Saigon, Qatar Airways is an ideal<br />

choice.<br />

Best time to visit<br />

‣ You should travel to Peru between May<br />

and August. The weather is quite cool; the<br />

temperature is not too high during the day and<br />

not too low at night. Most importantly, you will<br />

not be bothered by the rain.<br />

Transports<br />

‣ You can travel to other destinations in<br />

Peru by bus, taxi, rental car or on foot. My<br />

recommendation is by bus due to the ease of<br />

the bus system here. Moreover, the low cost<br />

and convenience make it incredibly easy to reach<br />

interesting destinations in Peru.<br />

Cuisine<br />

‣ Peruvian cuisine is quite diverse and varied;<br />

products such as potatoes and corn are the<br />

main ingredients creating delicious, appealing<br />

dishes. The coast of Peru is well-known for its<br />

seafood, including Ceviche Salad. A few must-try<br />

dishes: Pachamanca soup, grilled meat brochette<br />

(Anticuchos)... or other famous Peruvian beverages<br />

such as Caliente White Rum, Coca Tea, Matä de<br />

Coca, Chicha de jora corn beer, fresh juices and<br />

Cafe Pasado.<br />

Experiences not to be missed<br />

‣ Ancient city: Inca culture center: Machu Picchu,<br />

Cusco and the valley between the Sacred desert,<br />

Lake Titicaca (lake on the Andes range), Piura,<br />

home to the most beautiful beaches in Peru and<br />

hometown of "The Old Man and the Sea", the<br />

small beautiful city on the Andes- Chachapoyas<br />

range, the White City of Arequipa, the Colca<br />

Canyon, the Amazon river, the Oxapampa and<br />

Huacachina villages, the Presidential Palace of Peru<br />

and the Santo Domingo church.

The three times I have spent<br />

in Paris have each given me<br />

completely different experiences.<br />

The first time, I felt strange with<br />

the thoughts of a tourist taking<br />

in the splendidness of Paris.<br />

Then, I became more familiar<br />

to the Parisian lifestyle thanks<br />

to my native boyfriend during<br />

my second year and finally, I<br />

felt more confident and fell into<br />

the rhythm of life here during<br />

my third year, in the role of a<br />

daughter-in-law in a French<br />

family.<br />

TRAVELLIVE 113


Let's eat! ("Ä table!")<br />

The media has wasted<br />

plenty of ink on<br />

French food. But, in<br />

my eyes, Parisians in<br />

real life are different<br />

than those at the 5 star hotels. They<br />

are gourmand yet very dainty, taking<br />

hours at the cafeteria restaurant<br />

across the street. During these<br />

moments, they discuss current affairs<br />

while sipping wine, puffing cigarettes<br />

and enjoying the sun.<br />

A typical day in the life of French<br />

people starts with breakfast at home,<br />

in a cafä or just a sandwich bought in<br />

a cafä or a bakery as to not arrive late<br />

to work. But the ideal time for me is<br />

the moment my mother-in-law makes<br />

a flavoured coffee jug then prepares<br />

another pot of jasmine or rose tea,<br />

followed by a preparation of a set of<br />

silver ware with cups and porcelain<br />

plates so the whole family can eat<br />

bread with jam, butter, or caramel<br />

together. A sense of peace that is<br />

most impressive.<br />

Otherwise, we will go out to breakfast<br />

at our favorite Le Bouquet d'Alesia<br />

cafä. It's cold outside; inside we are<br />

eating hot crispy croissants with<br />

chocolate filling, sipping fresh natural<br />

orange juice without sugar or ice and<br />

watching people passing by. This joy<br />

makes me feel extremely comfortable.<br />

Paris in May is an ideal time for<br />

weather: neither too hot nor too cold.<br />

The cool air easily makes people feel<br />

hungry. Speaking of lunch, I always<br />

recall the stuffed mussels cooked<br />

with butter, white wine and parsley,<br />

accompanied by crispy bread served<br />

at Au Pied de Cochon, which literally<br />

means "pig's feet", a rather funny<br />

name but it is actually associated with<br />

the specialities of the restaurants made<br />

from every part of the pig.<br />

Parisians are gourmand yet very dainty,<br />

taking hours at the cafeteria restaurant across<br />

the street. During these moments, they discuss<br />

current affairs while sipping wine, puffing<br />

cigarettes and enjoying the sun.<br />

114<br />

For the gloomy Parisian days, I<br />

love to ask my husband to have hot<br />

Japanese ramen for lunch at Kintaro.<br />

TRAVELLIVE


In addition to low fat ramen noodles with pork, sticks<br />

of crab, seaweed and dried bamboo, which both smells<br />

good and make me feel excited, my husband's choice<br />

are fried rice with shrimp and eggs and especially<br />

gyoza (Japanese style dumplings) which are also very<br />

delicious.<br />

Currency<br />

‣ You should exchange Euros in<br />

Vietnam or use an international Visa<br />

card. Please check with your issuing<br />

bank in Vietnam to find out the<br />

charges when paying by card abroad.<br />

Visa<br />

‣ Visa to France is a Schengen visa<br />

that is applied to 26 countries in this<br />

area. You can proceed to apply for a<br />

visa by visiting the official website of<br />

TLSContact - the authorized agency<br />

of the French Embassy in Hanoi and<br />

the French Consulate in Ho Chi Minh<br />

City on the visa application issues<br />

at the link: http://fr.tlscontact.com.<br />

Please take note that if your trip goes<br />

through many European countries,<br />

you will choose the location of your<br />

longest stay to apply for your visa.<br />

US passport holders do not currently<br />

need a visa to travel to France or the<br />

Schengen area.<br />

After lunch, we often walk to our familiar cafä to rest<br />

in the midday heat. Cafä De La Mairie is a favorite<br />

address of many Frenchmen, including my husband.<br />

From here, we have a view right in front of the Saint-<br />

Sulpice church - the filming location of The Da Vinci<br />

Code. Sitting under the shades of Cafä De La Mairie, with a blue sky above,<br />

between sips of hot chocolate or iced tea, you can simply gaze around to see the<br />

beauty of life.<br />

One day, we were delighted to discover Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole, located in a<br />

small street nearby the Notre-Dame Cathedral thanks to a dinner invitation of<br />

my brother-in-law Thomas. The restaurant dates back to the 16 th century and is<br />

perfectly preserved as it existed then. The later the night is, the more guests that<br />

come to the restaurant. Once dinner is finished, everyone leaves tipsy to walk in<br />

the cold wind as the church bell rings out eleven o'clock pm.<br />

Into the art world<br />

Speaking of Paris, we cannot forget to mention about the city of art.<br />

On my two most recent visits to Paris, I came to to visit Les Deux Plateaux/<br />

Colonnes de Buren (The pillars of Buren) - a contemporary artwork installation<br />

which was the origin of many discussions since its inception in 1986. Named<br />

after artist Daniel Buren it has 260 black-and-white striped pillars, creating an<br />

astonishing contrast.<br />

Best time to visit Paris<br />

The ideal time to travel to Paris is<br />

from April to June or from October to<br />

early November when the weather is<br />

dry and cool.<br />

The period between December and<br />

February is not a bad time either.<br />

Although the weather is quite cold,<br />

you can experience the Christmas<br />

celebration when all the streets, parks<br />

and shopping centers light up, perhaps<br />

even under snow.<br />

Must-try delicious dishes<br />

‣ If possible, you should try as many<br />

dishes as possible in Paris as these<br />

experiences are worth it. However,<br />

there are some traditional French<br />

dishes you should not miss such as:<br />

Magret de Canard: Made from<br />

fattened duck liver. The meat is<br />

sweeter, more delicious, and fatter<br />

than other types of duck.<br />

C´te de Boeuf: A roast beef dish<br />

served with sea salt, thyme and French<br />

fries. There are also restaurants that<br />

serve this dish along with pepper<br />

sauce, or cheese sauce accompanied<br />

with salad and vegetables.<br />

Mussels are cooked with butter,<br />

white wine and parslly, and served<br />

with French fries or seafood such as<br />

live oysters accompanied with lemon,<br />

butter and bread.<br />

Tips<br />

‣ The cafäs and restaurants you<br />

should visit when coming to Paris:<br />

Le Bouquet d'Alesia cafÈ (75<br />

Boulevard Avenue du Gänäral Leclerc,<br />

14 th arrondissement) opposite the<br />

Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge church.<br />

Cafe De La Mairie (8 Place Saint-<br />

Sulpice, 6 th arrondissement Paris): the<br />

favorite address of many French.<br />

Au Pied de Cochon located right in<br />

the heart of 1st arrondissement Paris<br />

(No. 6 Coquilliere Street). It is one of<br />

the most delicious and famous Parisian<br />

pubs opened since 1947.<br />

Kintaro (24 Saint-Augustin Street,<br />

2nd arrondissement): Japanese flavors.<br />

Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole (No.<br />

24 Chanoinesse Street, 4 th<br />

arrondissement): It dates back to<br />

the 16 th century (at the time of the<br />

Notre Dame Cathedral) and has been<br />

preserved until today.<br />

You can also visit the Pompidou<br />

Center, also known as the Museum of<br />

Contemporary Art, named after French<br />

President George Pompidou. Paintings,<br />

artifacts, and videos hang from the<br />

ceiling, mounted on the wall, or directly<br />

printed onto the walls, these pieces take<br />

viewers from surprise to surprise.<br />

Along the Pompidou is Place de<br />

Stravinsky (1983), where locals and<br />

visitors leisurely chat in restaurants, on<br />

the aisle in the noise of sprinkling water<br />

from a nearby fountain decorated by 16<br />

impressive colorful sculptures inspired<br />

by a composition of the late Russian<br />

composer Igor Stravinsky. Behind the<br />

fountain is a giant wall-painting made by<br />

John Hamon, a person that no one knows<br />

anything information about him except<br />

his messy-hair, portraits wearing glasses<br />

sticked next to all of his artworks in Paris<br />

and around the world.<br />

We visit the Canal Saint Martin where<br />

the romantic canal is dotted with turning<br />

bridges, stairs, and chestnut trees along<br />

its banks. This place has the best bakery<br />

in Paris - Du pain et des idäes.<br />

The bold red painted bookshop, Artazart<br />

Design Bookstore, is also a must-visit<br />

shop in Paris. Established in 2000,<br />

Artazar is Europe's No 1 bookstore<br />

specializing in design publications,<br />

photography, graphics, architecture,<br />

fashion, contemporary art and many other<br />

creative pictures and products. It would<br />

be a shortcoming to talk about art without<br />

mentioning Montmartre hill. I had to<br />

come back here the 3 times I visited Paris<br />

because of the liberal atmosphere, the<br />

pride of a place where many artists live<br />

and perform. On the way, I purposely<br />

visited a grocery store which is a setting<br />

in one of my favorite romantic comedies,<br />

"Amelie", played by actress Audrey<br />

Tautou or attempted to catch a glimpse<br />

at Au Lapin Agile Cabaret, where three<br />

late acclaimed painters Pablo Picasso,<br />

Maurice Utrillo, and Henri de Toulouse-<br />

Lautrec often came. After wandering<br />

around, I reached the top of the hill where<br />

unforgettable memories of these two shopping centers<br />

decorated in festive colors; they are right out of a fairy tale.<br />

French people are well-known for their laid-back style and<br />

their spirit of enjoying each moment of life. The first place<br />

that left many impressions on me is the Parc de Bagatelle, a<br />

great place to go to walk and relax. Not so far from Bagatelle<br />

is the Bois de Boulogne - the historical hunting ground of<br />

French kings. This place is considered one of the "lungs"<br />

of Paris and on beautiful Parisian days, people like to go<br />

to the park for sunbathing or lie-down to read. Jardins du<br />

Luxembourg attracts visitors with its renowned beauty. This<br />

25-hectare garden was founded in 1612 by the initiative<br />

of Queen Marie de Medici, the wife of King Henry IV.<br />

Visitors can visit orchards full of apples, honey bee farms<br />

and greenhouses with a wide range of orchids and roses.<br />

Scattered throughout the park are hundreds of statues<br />

honoring famous French people; fountains and exhibitions<br />

on the garden railings also promise new discoveries.<br />

I believe that a trip to Paris - the City of Light, is more or<br />

less enough inspiring us the beauty of life and the passion<br />

for world exploration. Paris will always be an ideal place as<br />

it contains so many interesting things to discover every day<br />

- no matter who you are - an artistic soul, a foodie or a lover<br />

of nature.<br />

the Sacrä-Coeur Basilica overlooks beautiful Paris. As the<br />

heat of sun goes across one's head, it is time to find a cafä to<br />

rest for a while before continuing the discovery journey.<br />

Shopping & back-to-nature<br />

pleasures<br />

Come to the fashion capital of Paris and<br />

you will find it hard to resist shopping. The<br />

attractiveness of the glazed windows on<br />

the street will overwhelm you with their<br />

decorations; commercial centers whether<br />

they are ancient or modern, are always as beautiful as if in<br />

a dream.<br />

If you are looking for high end, unique or a different<br />

shopping experience, I recommend visiting Galerie Väro-<br />

Doda for a quiet, old-fashioned style, and do not miss the<br />

Forum des Halles with 150 famous brand stores such as<br />

Nike, Lego, Superdry, Muji, Fnac, H & M, Zara, Celio,<br />

Bershka and 17 restaurants along with the Monoprix<br />

supermarket...<br />

There are still at least two of Paris's oldest and most famous<br />

shopping venues, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, on<br />

Haussman Boulevard, district 9. If you have a chance to<br />

visit Paris during Christmas and New Years, you will have<br />

wildlife<br />

To Nordic people, there is nothing more fun than trekking or wandering the<br />

woods on a hot summer day. All you need is a good pair of shoes, a nice<br />

jacket, sunscreen and some anti-mosquito spray. Each summer, Norwegian<br />

forests bustle with hikers. In this season, the sun does not set, but only<br />

drifts down the mountains to the west, making it very easy to wander<br />

around the forest, even for a cosmopolitan girl like me.<br />

Article: Ngoc Quyen - Photos: Ngoc Quyen, several authors


STRAWBERRY PARADISE<br />

In addition to trekking, camping<br />

on mountain peaks or mountainbiking,<br />

summer is wild berry<br />

hunting season. European countries<br />

in general, Northern Europe in<br />

particular, are a paradise for summer<br />

berries. Among the berries, the<br />

strawberry might be the most<br />

familiar of fruits in Vietnam.<br />

However, Northern Europe has more<br />

to offer than just that!<br />

Wild strawberries grow at<br />

the forest's edge. Farm-grown<br />

strawberries can be harvested<br />

extensively in greenhouses, or in<br />

tropical climates, whereas wild<br />

berries only grow in the wild,<br />

especially in the northern part of the<br />

Northern Hemisphere.<br />

Strawberries are smaller than 1/3 of<br />

a girl's pinky, but their smell and<br />

taste is so entrancing that you will<br />

remember them forever after one<br />

try. Strawberries are as sweet as<br />

sugar with a slight sour background;<br />

their smell is so pungent that you<br />

only need to pick one to spread their<br />

aromatic scent into the air. I laughed<br />

at the thought that if I had not picked<br />

this wild strawberry by the forest's<br />

edge, that perhaps my only notion of<br />

a strawberry would be of candy made<br />

from tons of sugar and chemicals!<br />

Blueberries are still quite rare in<br />

Vietnam, but recently they have<br />

appeared in some supermarkets and<br />

import/export fruit shops. However,<br />

the variety seen in Vietnam are those<br />

selected for breeding and professional<br />

cultivation in large farms. These<br />

blueberries are quite large, plump<br />

and sweet while wild blueberries<br />

grown in the forest tell another story.<br />

Wild blueberries grow around pine<br />

trees; the more sunshine they have,<br />

the thicker and more flavourful they<br />

are. They grow in low dusty areas,<br />

close to mossy swamps and rotten<br />

leafy trees - areas that are quite<br />

dangerous if you happen slip down.<br />

To harvest blueberries, you need a<br />

special tool to separate the berries<br />

from the small bushes. The young<br />

fruits and leaves will pass through the<br />

slotted loops of the tray, leaving only<br />

the collected large ripe fruit.<br />

When eating blueberries, your<br />

hands and lips will turn purple like<br />

when eating the Vietnamese sim.<br />

Wild blueberries are smaller in size<br />

and more sour than they are sweet.<br />

Because of this, wild blueberries are<br />

often used to make jam, blueberry<br />

smoothies or baked breads. One of<br />

my favorite summer pastries is the<br />

blueberry muffin, baked with freshly<br />

picked tiny blueberries from the<br />

forest, still fragrant with the scent of<br />

pine needles and damp soil. When<br />

baked, the blueberries burst in the<br />

muffin, mixing with sugar and<br />

aromatic vanilla, bringing a delicious<br />

taste as sweet fruit jam.<br />

One of my favorite<br />

summer pastries<br />

is the blueberry<br />

muffin, baked with<br />

blueberries from the<br />

with the scent of<br />

pine needles and<br />

RARE CLOUDBERRY AND<br />

RASPBERRY<br />

Cloudberries are a<br />

precious gift that<br />

Mother Nature has<br />

generously bestowed<br />

on the Northern<br />

people living in the cold with little<br />

sunshine all year long. These little<br />

berries are incredibly nutritious:<br />

vitamin C levels double that of<br />

oranges, they contain more fiber<br />

than any other wild berry, are full of<br />

carotene, omega 3, vitamins B and E,<br />

minerals such as phosphorus, iron,<br />

magnesium, calcium, they contain<br />

six types of fatty acids... Cloudberries<br />

also help to prevent the oxidation of<br />

cells, assisting the body in repair and<br />

maintaining youth.<br />

As cloudberries are rare, they<br />

are not easy to find. They only<br />

grow in marshes in the Northern<br />

Hemisphere, as close to the North<br />

Pole as possible. As they grow in<br />

swamp-like conditions, it is hard<br />

to walk around, especially with<br />

mosquitoes buzzing near, their<br />

wings beating like a helicopter!<br />

Nordic "tools" harvesting<br />

cloudberries comprise of rubber<br />

boots, waterproof (and antimosquito)<br />

jackets, mosquito<br />

repellant and countless buckets for<br />

the finished product.<br />

Cloudberries grow in large clusters,<br />

close to the edge of bogs and marshes,<br />

each stem produces only one fruit.<br />

Cloudberry season usually begins<br />

at the end of June, extending to the<br />

end of August, but varies by latitude.<br />

The higher the latitude is, the later<br />

cloudberry season becomes, though,<br />

it is never after summer.<br />

Another summer "berry ambassador"<br />

is the raspberry. Raspberries are a<br />

shrub, often mistaken for mulberry,<br />

which is a tree. Raspberries grow<br />

wild along forest paths, even in<br />

bushes along roads in the city.<br />

Like other summer berries,<br />

raspberries are a sun-loving shrub.<br />

The fruit ripens red under full sun,<br />

interspersing between serrated dark<br />

green leaves, swinging in the wind as<br />

if inviting someone to pick them.<br />

Perhaps among the berries,<br />

raspberries are the most accessible<br />

for children. Nordic platinum haired<br />

babies with clear blue eyes and red<br />

lips can easily follow their parents<br />

into the forest. When they meet the<br />

small bushes, just cresting above<br />

their little heads, they cheer as chicks,<br />

rushing into the bushes to pick the<br />

ripe sweet fruits. Since they become<br />

familiar to the forest at a young age,<br />

they know wild berries quite well. My<br />

father in law told me that the Nordic<br />

children may know of the wild berries<br />

and mushrooms in the forest even<br />

before they know how to read.<br />

Mushroom picking<br />

pleasure<br />

Speaking of wild mushrooms,<br />

picking them is another favorite<br />

hobby of cold country people, which<br />

to me personally is a bit ... risky. It is<br />

risky because there are a myriad of<br />

mushrooms that grow after the late<br />

summer-early autumn forest rains,<br />

of which only about a dozen can<br />

guarantee you still... live... after eating.<br />

Mushroom picking is one of the<br />

Nordic pleasures in the cold country.<br />

Around the beginning of August,<br />

when the blazing summer has begun<br />

to give way to showers, signaling the<br />

coming of fall, is when Norway moves<br />

from berry season to mushroom<br />

harvesting season.<br />

Yellow mushrooms, once picked,<br />

should be brushed off with the<br />

mushroom-knife to clean dust, do not<br />

wash with water as it will remove the<br />

mushroom's nutrients and sweetness.<br />

Wild forest<br />

mushrooms, once<br />

picked from the<br />

earth, should<br />

be processed<br />

immediately in<br />

order to fully enjoy<br />

their nutrients and<br />

the excellent taste<br />

of the Northern<br />

wilderness.<br />

Place a pan over heat, add a bit of<br />

butter, then add the mushrooms and<br />

remember not to stir too much so that<br />

the water pulls from the mushrooms,<br />

then cook down the extracted water<br />

to condense the mushroom taste,<br />

sprinkle with salt and pepper and<br />

serve alongside Swedish meatballs,<br />

reindeer steak with potatoes and stewed<br />

vegetables. Here you have a delicious<br />

dinner after a fun day in the forest.<br />

In addition to yellow mushrooms, the<br />

Norwegian forest also has many other<br />

edible mushrooms such as bread<br />

mushrooms (shaped like a small<br />

loaf of bread), matblekk mushrooms<br />

that look look like rainbow termites,<br />

black chanterelle, which at first glance<br />

appears frightening because of its<br />

dark color but the taste is deep and<br />

sweet, golden trumpet mushroom,<br />

tongue mushroom...<br />

Only those who are lucky enough to<br />

live in the suburbs close to nature, or<br />

know someone who often harvests<br />

mushrooms, have the opportunity<br />

to enjoy these treats. Wild forest<br />

mushrooms, once picked from<br />

the earth, should be processed<br />

immediately in order to fully enjoy<br />

their nutrients and the excellent<br />

taste of the Northern wilderness. As<br />

the saying goes, "playing is also an<br />

elaborate art," and even those who<br />

have money don't always get the<br />

chance to fully enjoy these "delicious<br />

autumn pieces"!<br />

The summer - autumn season of<br />

Northern Europe passes quickly,<br />

just after a few months; people say<br />

goodbye to the golden sunshine,<br />

berries and radiant forest flowers. But<br />

sadness does not last for long because<br />

with fall comes the endless autumn<br />

rain, and if you did not prepare tools<br />

to pick the forest mushrooms, you<br />

can always sit lazily in the house and<br />

gaze out the veranda, leisurely take<br />

sips of aromatic coffee and enjoy<br />

freshly baked blueberry muffins,<br />

fragrantly packed with the whole<br />

summer inside.<br />

More information<br />

‣ Forests in Northern European<br />

countries do not have snakes, leeches,<br />

poisonous spiders or other dangerous<br />

insects, but there are quite a lot of big<br />

mosquitoes. Therefore, if you intend<br />

to go to the forest, you should bring<br />

mosquito repellent and cream to<br />

apply on mosquito bites.<br />

‣ Some poisonous berries have very<br />

attractive colors and aromas, and even<br />

look similar to edible berries. If you do<br />

not know it, you should not take a risk<br />

to pick it.<br />

‣ If you intend to pick mushrooms,<br />

you must have great knowledge of the<br />

edible and poisonous mushrooms of<br />

the forest, or you can take mushroom<br />

picking tours with local guides who<br />

are mushroom savvy. You should<br />

absolutely not pick mushrooms that<br />

you do not know, or are uncertain<br />

about their shape or color... During<br />

mushroom season, there are usually<br />

checkpoints at the edge of the<br />

forest to inspect the safety of picked<br />

mushrooms. However, unfortunate<br />

accidents still happen every year.<br />

‣ Summer is often drizzly in Northern<br />

Europe. You should bring a raincoat, a<br />

waterproof and windproof jacket, rain<br />

boots and dry socks to change into<br />

when your shoes get wet.<br />

‣ Summer temperature in Northern<br />

Europe is about 20-25 o C, but the<br />

temperature in the forest is lower.<br />

When choosing jackets, do not<br />

choose bright colors such as red,<br />

orange, yellow... These colors can<br />

cause wild deer or other large animals<br />

to be excited and cause serious injury<br />

to people.<br />

‣ When picking berries or wild<br />

mushrooms in the forest, people<br />

often pick just enough to eat, leaving<br />

enough for others. You should heed<br />

this notion, and avoid picking more<br />

than necessary.<br />

‣ According to the Norwegian law<br />

of Allemannsretten, people have<br />

the right to visit, camp and harvest<br />

the produce from the forest and<br />

other public spaces (sea, lake, river,<br />

stream...). You can camp in Norway<br />

without any problems.<br />

‣ Norway, and other Nordic<br />

countries, have dense forests which<br />

are typically not too far from city<br />

centers. Based on where you are,<br />

you can ask locals for the nearest<br />

forest as well as the ideal time for<br />

picking different types of berries and<br />

mushrooms.<br />

‣ In autumn there are mushroom<br />

picking and forest visitation courses<br />

that provide useful tips. You can find<br />

more information at the city's tourist<br />

center.<br />

‣ If you are interested in professional<br />

forest hiking, you can refer to trekking<br />

maps, rest stations and for suitable<br />

journeys check the Den Norske<br />

Touristforening website - a<br />

reputable organization specializing in<br />

Norwegian treks.<br />

BAC SON - A GREEN CARPET THROUGHOUT LANG SON<br />

In August, the Bac Son rice fields gradually turn, dying the entire area a deep golden color. This<br />

is the most beautiful time of the year to visit Bac Son. In the morning, if you stand on Na Lay<br />

peak, you can admire the panoramic valley shrouded in a delicate mist, sheltered by mountains<br />

with ripe rice fields and winding rivers.<br />

The special feature of the Bac Son rice fields is that the fields are sown alternately, so that during<br />

ripe rice season the fields appear as a colorful patchwork. There are squares of iridescent water,<br />

brown earth, rich green and vibrant yellow. Each square lends to a greater work of art like that<br />

of a quilt.<br />

SOUTHWESTERN VIETNAM FRUIT HARVEST<br />

Southwestern Vietnam is beautiful all year long due to the special characteristics of each<br />

season. However, if you want to enjoy fresh fruits straight from the source, you should visit<br />

in the summer, from June to August. Drop in at My Khanh garden in Can Tho to enjoy<br />

rambutan, plum, jackfruit, durian... each fruit is bursting with flavor. Head to Vinh Kim,<br />

another must-see area, to enjoy the famous Lo Ren star apple. This garden of ripe fruits will<br />

overwhelm your senses and have your taste-buds tingling.<br />

Don't forget to get up early and experience the river life of the Cai Rang floating market -<br />

one of the two largest floating markets in the Southwest. For those who have never truly<br />

experienced the river, this is a great opportunity to understand more about the Southwestern<br />

way of life.<br />

INLE LAKE IN HIGH-WATER SEASON<br />

Inle lake is one of the two largest freshwater lakes in Myanmar, located in the central<br />

Shan State. Inle has two seasons, the dry season in May and the high-water season in<br />

August. The deepest point of the lake is 6 meters, but during the high season, the water<br />

is much deeper. Inle Lake, home to the Inthar people, offers peaceful countryside beauty.<br />

Wake up early to catch the sun breaking on the lake and watch the famous fishermen<br />

that appear in well-known photographs all over the world. In addition, there is also the<br />

extraordinary "long-necked" ethnic group. These incredible people are commonly the topic<br />

of many photographers. Make sure to save time to admire the floating temples and wooden<br />

architecture of the Inle people.<br />

ENJOYING BALLOONS IN BRISTOL<br />

Bristol is located in the southwest of England, about a three-hour drive from<br />

London. Bristol is the site of the annual International Balloon Festival. If you find<br />

yourself in Bristol during mid-August, you will have the opportunity to admire<br />

hundreds of colorful and shapely balloons floating in the sky. In 2017, the balloon<br />

festival attracted half a million participants, with 150 balloons from different<br />

countries around the world. During this festive season, you can camp at different<br />

locations, take part in outdoor activities and watch the glittering sky.<br />

Aside from balloons, you can check out the Clifton Suspension Bridge - a symbol<br />

of Bristol City - or visit the ancient church of St Mary Redcliffe.<br />

HOKKAIDO IN LAVENDER<br />

Unlike cherry blossoms that<br />

bloom only for a short time,<br />

lavender flowers usually last<br />

up to two months. In Hokkaido<br />

(Japan), the flowering season<br />

begins in July and blossoms<br />

continue through August.<br />

Lavender is not considered<br />

a noble flower nor a rare<br />

flower. However, with its<br />

fragrant aroma and romantic<br />

beauty, purple lavender still<br />

captivates visitors.<br />

Hokkaido in lavender season<br />

is a great tourist destination<br />

for the "land of the rising<br />

sun". In summer, lavender<br />

completely covers the<br />

hillsides. Looking down from<br />

Tokachi mountain will amaze<br />

you with its surreal paintinglike<br />

scenery.<br />
